Caesar Salad

Caesar Salad dressing is simply an emuslion of egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies and olive oil. It is one of those dressings that people are particular about, some like more lemon and less anchovy while others like lots of garlic and anchovies. This version is slightly lemony so feel free to hold back a little of the juice.
